Description
Enhance the efficiency of your plant floor through high-definition visibility, foolproof management, and a real-time production environment that seamlessly integrates with your ERP by design. Traditional ERP systems were not specifically built for manufacturing execution, and relying on post-production information, or “back-flushing,” does little to aid in controlling output during the manufacturing process. Plex’s Manufacturing Execution Suite (Plex MES) offers real-time production oversight, providing immediate access to manufacturing data for comprehensive visibility and effective closed-loop control. This adaptable, cloud-native solution is crafted for straightforward deployment, standardization, and seamless integration with your existing corporate ERP. The suite comprises a collection of unified shop floor applications operating on a shared database, minimizing the potential for disruptions or errors caused by inter-application connections. With a focus on a paperless environment, it is user-friendly, empowering operators to boost productivity while eliminating manual process errors, ultimately transforming the way manufacturing operations are conducted. By integrating these systems, businesses can achieve a more streamlined and efficient manufacturing process.
Description
Schedule Forge is designed for production scheduling specifically tailored to small manufacturers. It enables the creation of work orders that incorporate multi-step routings and allows these orders to be scheduled against actual line capacity; users can easily drag and drop to make adjustments, causing all downstream tasks to automatically realign. Each job's deadline is tracked throughout its workflow, with late tasks highlighted, and connections between orders indicate how one job may impact another's timeline. Users can explore AI-driven what-if scenarios to evaluate the impact of a rush order or a production halt before finalizing decisions. On the production floor, operators can clock in and out using a PIN kiosk; progress is tracked through good and scrap counts, while routing steps include photos, links, and revision histories for better clarity. A customizable dashboard, along with a daily email summary, helps prioritize what requires immediate attention. Additionally, users can print purchase orders, monitor deadlines, invite team members with defined roles, log in using their Google accounts, and modify names for tasks, projects, lines, and work orders to align with their shop's terminology. The platform also supports REST API, webhooks, and integration with Airtable to enhance its functionality. With these features, Schedule Forge streamlines the scheduling process and improves overall operational efficiency for manufacturers.
